Shorter Days

[yeboah]

The nights sure are getting shorter now darkness already descending

Tossed the doos today few miles south of the fechan approx 23mls

Put them up every 6minutes in 4's all cleared very well was a really big batch exercising to the north of them the idea was for the tots in the group to join them and work the last 20mls on there own

Worked as planned all racers home tots have been working north all day got one at 8-30 tonight 3 to come but good learning routine had couple of fechan doos up but when put up headed back to the holly grail so a good wee 40mls trip for them still on lookout at window as fancied another before dark another few weeks and we will be planning ahead for next season where has the year went lads .

I was in discussion with a lady at work today, she has a small holding and according to her husband we are in for a VERY COLD winter. She claims he is NEVER wrong on matters of the weather, the Berries on the trees are plentiful and going by his theory that precedes a very hard winter ahead!!!

A don't know about that Rab, the 2 winters we had in 2010 and 2011 were a lot worse than the winter just passed, i was trying to drive around peoples houses both of those winters, but the winter just passed was a walk in the park by comparison. Snow Snow and more snow on its way!!! topped with freezing conditions as well.
